There's something about the look of those stark black letters on white cotton paper being pulled from the typewriter. There's no way to duplicate it. You can't photocopy it and achieve the same effect. You can't use your computer because no font in the world can duplicate it. The indentation of the letters perfectly in … Continue reading the typewritten word…

in time
Years can be such slippery intangible things, as we slide from one to the next. Season to season. Walking through our lives noticing so little of what the last year has held and what the coming years will bring. Except hair wet with rain in Spring. Skin glistening with sweat in Summer.

There's an internal monologue which plays through my head in the mornings as I go about my tasks. Stick to my schedule. As I wake K from slumber, get her ready for school not so much by doing for her as I used to, but by carefully not doing for her. By hanging at the … Continue reading even here…
help wanted
I'm overwhelmed. There. I said it. I am. I never expected this to be simple. I never expected it to be easy. Things are difficult. Tense. Uneasy. Unstable. And yes. Overwhelming.

Even 5 months in advance. - When it rains it pours... that happens with good things too. - Raising my child is totally interfering with my … Continue reading notes on a Saturday

This particular blog post seems to have a check list to go along with it, so why don't we start there... Laying in bed with my big velvet winter comforter? Check Wearing undies and my favorite stripey shirt? Check Red lipstick? Check Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds or Tom Waits playing in my ears? … Continue reading Transparency…
a serious case of the busy
Despite the title, this is not one of those posts where I wax philosophical about how incredibly busy I am. I'm also not going to detail for you all the tasks that are keeping me so busy that I don't have the time or emotional wherewithal to come up with some new inspired piece of … Continue reading a serious case of the busy
